Sweater Support Group 2025
January 9th - February 26th
Thursdays | 6pm - 7:30pm

Sweater Support Group is our most popular group at Dappled Fern! Whether it's your 1st or 50th, this group is a great way to give yourself the space, structure, weekly goals, and moral support you need to do it. You'll choose a pattern and we'll help you make it over the course of 8 weekly sessions.
Our cozy group is hosted by Dorothy Broomall and Alyssa Hedstrom. We'll share our favorite tips and tricks for sweater knitting (measuring, swatching, choosing a size, etc), answer basic questions, share advice, and of course help you celebrate progress each week!
Overwhelmed? We get it! We love helping people put projects together. Below are a few of my favorite patterns that work well with yarns we carry at Dappled Fern. We can help you choose a pattern and pick out yarn!
